REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT 

~he PRESIDENT, 

The White House. 

Srn: The Deputy Administrator in his final report to me on said 

amendment to said Code having £ound as herein set forth and on the 

basis of all the proceedings in this matter; 

I find that: 

(a) The amendment to said Code and the Code as amended are 

well designed to promote the policies and purposes of Title I of 

the National Industrial Recovery Act including the removal of obstructions to the free flow of interstate and foreign commerce which 

tend to diminish the amount thereof, and will provide £or the general welfare by promoting the organization of industry for the purpose of cooperative action among Trade Groups, by inducing and 

maintaining united action of labor and management under adequate 

governmental sanction and supervision, by eliminating unfair competitive practices, by promoting the fullest possible utilization of the 

present productive capacity of industries, by avoiding undue restrictions of production, by increasing the consumption of industrial and 

agricultural products through increasing purchasing power, by reducing and relieving unemployment, by improving standards of labor, 

and by otherwise rehabilitating industry. 

(b) The Code as amended complies in all respects with the pertinent provisions of said Title of said Act, including without limitation Subsection (a) of Section 3, Subsection (a) of Section 7, and 

Subsection (b) of Section 10 thereof. 

( c) The Code empowers the Code Authority to present the aforesaid amendment on behalf of the industry as a whole. 

( d) The amendment and the Code as amended are not designed to 

and will not permit monopolies or monopolistic practices. 

( e) The amendment and the Code as amended are not designed 

to and will not eliminate or oppress small enterprises and will not 

operate to discriminate against them. 

(f) Those engaged in other steps of the economic process have not 

been deprived of the right to be heard, prior to approval of said 

Amendment. 

(g) The amendment deals with equalization of minimum wages 

as between geographical areas. It represents a minor reduction in 

sawmill, factory and logging rates in the North Central Hardwood 

region, including the States of Illinois, Indiana and Ohio. This 

region is surrounded on all sides except directly west, where no 

lumber manufacturing industry exists, by substantially lower wage 

rates. It is claimed by many operators in these States that they are 

unable to operate under the existing wage rates and that, consequently, they are closing their mills. 

For these reasons, therefore, I have approved this amendment to 

the Code. 

Respectfully, 

SEPTEMBER 19, 1934.
